What Happens to Mr. Jones by the End?

Published in Animal Farm Character Fate 1 min read

By the end of the narrative, Mr. Jones, the original human owner of Manor Farm, ultimately dies in an 'inebriates' home in a different part of the country.

The Ultimate Fate of Mr. Jones

Mr. Jones is introduced as the neglectful and often drunken farmer who owns Manor Farm, whose oppressive rule and mistreatment directly lead to the animal rebellion. After being overthrown and driven off the farm by the animals, he makes a few unsuccessful attempts to reclaim his property, most notably during the pivotal Battle of the Cowshed. These efforts are decisively thwarted by the animals, solidifying their control over what they rename Animal Farm.

Following his final defeat, Mr. Jones completely fades from the story's foreground. His eventual death signifies his absolute and permanent removal from any potential threat to the animal's society or their self-governance. He spends his remaining days in an institution specifically for individuals struggling with alcoholism, located far away from the farm he once owned. This conclusive end ensures he can never return to challenge the animals, marking the definitive closure of his role in the entire saga.
